SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 399,248, dated March 12, 1889.

Application filed December l, 1888. Serial No. 292,383. ING model.)

Be it known that I, @Hannes G. Dumme, a citizen of the ll'nited States, residing at Leeds, in the county of Greene and State of New York, have .invented Certain new and useful Improvements in lrueks; and I do declare the following to hea full, clear, and exact description of the invention, suoli as will enable others skilled in the art to which it apperl'ains to make and use the same, reteren ee hein g had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, I

never on the journals or conn(acting-frame.

which form a part of this specilic-atic n.

The special object of the invention is to make a convenient truck for carrying hogsheads of sugar or other heavy weights for short distances.

Figures l and .2 oi' the drawings are elevations in perspective showing` the truck as an entirety. Figs. 3 and i are plan views of the rollers and their connecting-frame, and Fig.- 5 is a detail View of the grooved side beams.

In the drawings,'A A represent the two rolls, and B their connecting spacer-frame, which keeps them always at the same distance apart. O utsi de Vof this frame B is arranged th e weightsupporting frame C, with the side grooves, c

c, and the platfor1nhoards o c. The rollerjournals o a rest in the grooves c, so that the said frame C may he movable on the journals a..

In Fig. 2 of the drawings the journals ce are in grooves a of the rolls A, so as to receive the rods D D,which are fastened in the opposite ends ol' the frame C. rolls move in the same way as where grooves c c are employed, The rollers may he hollow piping. There sections of piping are used, the eonneeting-franle may he ol' one entire piece, passing through the rollers and lientso as to hold them parallel to each other and at a proper distance apart. The sides of the Connecting-frame 'may rest in the grooved pieces C, the grooves being large enough To allow the frame or journals to move freely, as the weight always rests on the rollers and 'Ihe small amount of friction in my true-k makes it very desirable for moving safes, drawers, holding heavy articles, boxes, harrels, stoves, &c.

Having thus described all that is necessary to a 'full understanding of my inventiongvhat I claim as new, and desire to proteei'- by Letters Patent, is

In trucks, the combination of the rolls A A, oarryin g journals a a, the connecting-frame B, attached to said journals, and the weightsupporting frame C, having the opposite grooves c c, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I affix my si gnatu ro in presence of two witnesses.
